전기방사를 이용한 PS/Silver nanoparticles 복합체의 제조

초록

Polymer Polystyrene (PS), transparent to a little bright opaque, colorless and brilliant material, is one of the most useful plastics. It has very high electrical resistance and dielectric loss. Silver has been well proved for its antibacterial properties and thus is widely used in medical and health care. Silver is skin friendly and does not cause any itching. Moreover, chloroform CHCl3 has been a more appropriate solvent for producing electrospun biomaterials. Its low boiling point decreases the chances of solvent remaining trapped in the fibers. The excellent surface-area-to-volume ratio and sub-cellular scale nanofibers produced by the electrospinning make nanosilver particles best choice for its use in health care. In this study, we prepared polystyrene/silver nanoparticles composite using electrospinning process.
